If I'm being honest, I think most of us would have gotten up and walked away. I know I would have. Why would I want to sit at a table with someone who is trying to find a way to betray me? Most of us would have confronted Judas or distanced ourselves from Peter, but Jesus? He just keeps on l

An open Bible page with handwritten notes and highlights, focusing on the Book of Esther. Key phrases include "Studying in Esther last night," "if I perish, I perish!" from Esther 4:15-16, and a sticker quoting "be strong and courageous Joshua 1:9."

Studying in Esther last night

One can learn a lot from studying the book of Esther. Did you know that Esther is one of only two books (the other being Song of Solomon) that does not mention God? The ironic part is that even though He is not mentioned in the book of Esther, He is ALL over it. Esther was chosen by God to save

A gray padded envelope lies on a patterned surface, with overlay text asking, "LEMON8 SENT ME A LEMON?" accompanied by a lemon emoji and a cartoon character with a question mark, indicating an unboxing of a prize.

A yellow box displays two lemon-shaped makeup blenders, with text on the box reading "MAKEUP BLENDER - BEAUTY TOOLS -". Overlay text reinforces "BEAUTY BLENDER," showcasing the prize received.

The back of the yellow makeup blender box shows product information, including details about the two-piece set, material, and warnings. Overlay text states "PACKAGING IS CUTE!", highlighting the aesthetic appeal of the prize.

Lemon8 Sent Me WHAT?!

I honestly have no clue at this point which challenge this is from. My best guess would have to be the January challenge since the last item I received was from the Christmas challenge. I wish there was a bit of a better system to track the prizes you have won. I know I’m still missing a few prizes
